Delmos Oldham is running for seat on Waynesboro Borough Council

Delmos E. Oldham Sr. has announced his candidacy for a seat on Waynesboro Borough Council, representing Ward 3.

Oldham is a lifelong Republican, and he has served as tax collector since 1998. He recently announced he will not seek another term as tax collector.

“I served on borough council from 1996 to 1997 and I thoroughly enjoyed representing the interests of local residents,” said Oldham. “Now that I’m leaving my position as tax collector, I feel that returning to borough council is an excellent way to continuing serving the public. I am a people person and will always do my best to address citizens’ concerns in a caring, respectful and professional manner.”

During Oldham’s tenure as tax collector, he administered the collection of county, borough and school real estate taxes in the Borough of Waynesboro. Oldham also collected the earned income tax for the entire Waynesboro Area School District.

Oldham, 67, and his wife Francine live at 549 W. Eighth St. They attend the Calvary Assembly of God in Waynesboro and have one son, Eddie, and two grandchildren. He is a member of various local civic and fraternal organizations, including Waynesboro Acacia Lodge 589.

Prior to being elected tax collector, Oldham owned and operated his own insurance agency for more than 20 years.

A 1963 graduate of Waynesboro Area Senior High School, he completed an apprenticeship at Landis Tool Co. and, in 1968 and 1969, served in Vietnam with the 357th Reserve Unit, Greencastle.

“If elected to borough council, I will continue to provide the level of public service the citizens of Waynesboro deserve,” he said.
